Yep, there is very little I can do to stop that I'm afraid... You could always not post your e-mail address on adverts and ask people to either phone you or contact you via the U2U system here.... I just ignore them and trash them... I get around 600 Junk e-mails a day, so the odd one trying to buy something I'm no longer selling gets lost amongst all the others!
